The new family of carbon isotopesfullerene, nanotubes, graphene, and carbyneis called nanostructured carbon or nanocarbon. These isotopes exhibit extreme properties such as ultrahigh mechanical strength, ultrahigh chargecarrier mobility, and high thermal conductivity, attracting considerable attention for their electronic and mechanical applications as well as for exploring new physics and chemistry in the field of basic materials science. Electron sources are important in a wide range of areas, from basic physics and scient.
